Contest: Involve people?

What do you think about "artist contest"?
A contest where Fractured team propose a subject to draw or paint.

The winner, or the first X position, could be rewarded with "Foundation point" to level up faster, or some things else (in my opinion the reward is not important ). The same could be made with musics, stories and other things i suppose.

I think about it because i really want see this project realized: this seems different from the most part of the mmorpg i've play or follow. To make this possibile i ask to myself if there is another way to help, not just follow or donate, and i think about contest. BlackDesertOnline Team for example, do this kind of contest to create games trailers for their game on youtube.

@vengu i'm waiting for it , but i just propose another way to help sure it is not usefull now, it could be more work for them at this time, but one day it could be usefull and nice...or not
I'm just impatient

It is interesting. Community involvement for some, being left out for others. Its a double edged sword. I have seen several communities do contest after contest with pretty nice prizes for art, after a while it disconnects the non artists. Do not get me wrong, I love to see the art that comes out, it blows me away what people can do. Forum titles are cool rewards, doubtful to bring on spite. That could be a thing.

A great idea, but, as Ghoster pointed out, it excludes non-artists. It's fine to do such things, I love fan art, there're some stunning works around. But it would need to expand eventually, to include wider masses.
However, at this point in development, I don't think they should do such a thing. They're very few people working on an ambicious project, I doubt there's room for fan contests now.

Less content means more room for imagination
Besides, some art may turn out to be inspirational for the dev team. I see no reason not to create a subforum for creative people to share their visions, in one form or another. Need not to be a contest, just for the sake of it.

I guess it's still a little to early to do that, and personally I think that give foundation points to the winners it's kinda unfair cus not everyone has an "artist" side to be able to draw something :p
Contests like this should be when the game is about to release and the rewards should be in game stuff, in my opinion

@Hellmaster91 that's a very nice idea! It's not the only type of contest we could run, by the way. Character backgrounds (or more in general, writing) could be another fertile ground. We'll think about it!

We're going to need more lore before we can write backgrounds for our characters.

Very interesting, for sure! That's one contest I'd definitely like to participate in!
